EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Mike Dunning from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the world of traditional falconry. The image showcases a magnificent Falcon (falconinae) perched on a gloved hand, its head adorned with a leather hood and an identity band securely fastened around its leg. The side view of the Falcon allows us to appreciate its regal stature and sharp features, highlighting the beauty and power of these birds of prey. This snapshot captures a moment in time where humans have formed an intimate bond with nature, engaging in the ancient art of hunting alongside their feathered companions. Falconry, also known as hawking, is not just a sport but an age-old tradition that has been passed down through generations. It requires immense skill and patience to train these majestic creatures for tethering and hunting purposes. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but admire the dedication it takes to establish such harmony between man and bird. This photograph serves as a reminder that there are still old-fashioned sports like falconry that continue to thrive today. It celebrates the deep connection between humans and animals while showcasing our respect for nature's wonders
